The site may have been empty recently but the staff has had its hands full. Shall we do the rounds?

Bomb Shelter Comics – I know what you’re thinking. Is this another podcast talking about comics? What the hell is wrong with that? There’s a new collective out there and they’re leaving no marketing stone unturned. On their third podcast they even got in touch with me and asked if I could join them. While you’re listening be sure to check out some of the members such as Leftville, Today, Combustible Orange, and Chooken.

If there’s one thing I like about digital media it’s how easy it is to have a contest. Here’s three that have popped up on my radar.

Please Rewind – The re-launch of Please Rewind coincides with several new promotions of which being on the cover of Zoinks! is the just the icing on the cake. Chris Cantrell is also having a contest where the winner gets a $50 gift certificate to Blockbuster and $50 for Fandango. That’s like 2 whole movies! Submit your guest strip to win.

You’ll Have That – I’ve always thought selling artwork was a great gauge of just how loyal your fans are and just how far your reach is.

Why? because our readers want their entertainment in short bursts and this little recording does exactly that. Its basically an entire video of Scott creating a new ExtraLife comic, but all sped up with narration.

Ninja Bunny – This little comic was sent to me in celebration of its 100 strip. What is the strip about? The name practically gives it away. Mike Hull has started a new blog that has a lot of potential. Webcomics in Print is all about the world of web comics in the form environmentalists hate most.

It’s always a beautiful thing when web comics appear in the media. Typically that media is the newspaper but every once in awhile it’s TV and then my eyes get big. Why do we hunger for such attention? We have our own media but it’s being mentioned by the NY Times or on the talk box that we truly aspire to. Therefore the question is how to do it?

It looks like the strip Wulffmorganthaler, which we reviewed back I don’t remember when, was mentioned on the Daily Show. Continue reading →
